In a joint statement, 42 countries – all members of the EU, the US, the UK, Norway, Australia, Japan, New Zealand and other countries – demanded that the Russian forces withdraw from the nuclear power plant. “We urge the Russian Federation to immediately withdraw its military forces and all other unauthorised personnel from the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, its immediate surroundings, and all of Ukraine so that the operator and the Ukrainian authorities can resume their sovereign responsibilities within Ukraine’s internationally recognized borders and the legitimate operating staff can conduct their duties without outside interference, threat, or unacceptably harsh working conditions. This will also enable the IAEA to carry out its verification pursuant to Ukraine’s safeguards obligations under safe and secure conditions and in a timely manner,” the statement reads. According to Maria Zakharova, spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, as reported by the Russian TASS news agency, the West is doing everything it can so as not to allow an IAEA mission to reach the ZaporizhzhiaNuclear Power Plant, while Moscow is sparing no effort to organize such a visit.
